Voice actor James Carter Cathcart, famous for his work on “Pokémon,” is dead … TMZ has learned.
James died Tuesday after a years-long battle with oral cancer … according to a family member. We’re told he died at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx.
On “Pokémon,” James brought several characters to life with his voice … Professor Oak, Meowth, Gary Oak and James from Team Rocket.
He was also known among “Sonic” fans, voicing Vector the Crocodile in “Sonic X” and the “Shadow the Hedgehog” video game.
